Hey I loved the product you made. As a student who is always concerned about the spending on cloud services as they can be pricey but I’m just curious I have used google Colab in the past and it charges $10/Month so I wanted to know how is it different when compared to
google colab
I would love to hear your thoughts on this
- ilmoi 6y agoHey! So the way I would describe your progression as a student (at least from my experience): - Traditional ML -> probably can run on your laptop - Simple DL -> colab is great. Cheapest there is. - SOTA DL -> you're probably looking at training times well into 10s of hours / days, so you'll need something that can last longer than 12h of colab time. Plus at this point you're probably sophisticated enough that you want to setup your instance once and start/stop it rather than going through setup with colab every time. That's where https://gpu.land/ https://gpu.land/ fits it. So tl;dr; - absolutely use colab first (it's cheapest), but when you outgrow it, consider gpu.land.
